“Attack” doesn’t exclusively mean physical assault/restraining people. It’s called a “DDoS attack” after all. You’re creating a strict and narrow definition that most of the world does not subscribe to.

If I say “stop attacking me” during a heated argument no one thinks you’re physically assaulting me. That would be ridiculous.
